Little Bits | Stan Chronicles 9 | Nuns in Space S2 E9 (from the Vault #704)
Summary
Hosted by a freestyle soda machine named Stan, this episode of *Sleep With Me* features a long, meandering intro where the host explains the show's structure while getting distracted by a fantasy about C-3PO singing karaoke. The main story, from the serial *Nuns in Space*, follows Stan and his best friend Scooter as they navigate a "cloud of delusion" and track a space whale that eats ships. Stan reflects on his subconscious motivations for sending Scooter into the whale, while Scooter, inside the creature, uses nano-bots to explore its anatomy and visualize goals to find a way out.
